No, I haven’t seen Frosted yet, and yes I’m aware of the reviews. I do have a few thoughts before I do watch it (which I plan to do this evening).

I consider myself a fan of Jerry Seinfeld, but I’m a bigger fan of Larry David. And the combination of Larry, Jerry, Jason Alexander, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Michael Richards in Seinfeld created some of the greatest sitcom moments ever.

But Jerry’s contribution to Seinfeld was not as the funny guy. He was generally playing the straight man. He was our window into these crazy characters shouting “SERENITY NOW!” and strapping rickshaws to homeless people.

His first foray into filmmaking was in 2007 with “Bee Movie”, which was similarly panned by critics and audiences alike. And until “Unfrosted”, we’ve only really seen Jerry in his standup role or interviewing comedians while driving cars and drinking coffee.

I think the success of “Curb Your Enthusiasm” proves that Larry doesn’t need Jerry to make a hit show. But is Jerry any good without Larry? After all, Bobcat Goldthwait simply calls Jerry Seinfeld, “Larry David’s lucky friend.”

I think many people were expecting “Seinfeld”-level genius with “Unfrosted”, allowing for an upswell of disappointed viewers. I’m going to try to go in with a different attitude: is it better than “Bee Movie”?
